The GlycoMark Test is the only FDA-cleared serum or plasma blood test that measures 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a glucose-like sugar found in most foods. Serum 1,5-AG levels fall during glycosuria and rise when glucose control improves, providing clinicians an additional marker, complementary to HbA1C (a 3-month glucose average), for detecting recent hyperglycemia and managing patients with diabetes.
